Remember my idea for a Trikke commercial having a trikker carve amongst a large ballroom's circle of waltzers?

Another idea:

We see white text in a biblical looking font that says, "Old Way."

We see a traditional Maypole scene from hundreds of years ago -- 20 dancers surround the pole and each person has a very long brightly colored ribbon that is attached to the pole's top. We see the faces of these "innocents" as they begin to do their Allemande lefts and Allemande rights, and we're convinced that, well hey, after hundreds of years of circling a pole in Spring, the thrill is less than "as billed."

Suddenly: We now have a bird's eye point of view, and we see the circle of the dancers around the pole. Then the viewpoint "rises" and we see the area of the dancers get wider and wider until -- HOLD ON, WHAT? -- we see a much larger circle of trikkers closing in on the dancers. When the circle of trikkers hits the dancers' circle, the trikkers grab the ribbon from the person they pass on their way in towards the Maypole. Then, in unison, the trikkers begin carving around the pole and "naturally" weaving the ribbons almost as an artifact of their movements...not as a goal. When the trikkers get near the pole, their carves become evermore tighter and tighter and thus more skillfully done. Finally, the "villagers" break out of their astounded stupor of having these alien vehicles besiege them, and with a communal whoop of approval they race to the center, obviously to see the Trikkes close up. From the bird's eye view we see this circle of dancers collapse towards the carving trikkers. When the two circles meet, the trikkers hand over the ribbons and then like rays of light streaming outwards, the trikkers wiggle-beam away from the pole, leaving the stunned, delighted, mystified, and entranced villagers completely overwhelmed with a desire to trikke.

As we see the bird's eye view expanding as the trikkers shoot outwards in a perfect expanding circle, we see two words. "New Way.

Then, www.trikke.com

Research:
MayDay is a powerful holiday, filled with legend and tradition that goes back farther than most recorded history. One of the most famous is probably the Maypole, a tall pole of oak adorned with a hawthorne garland and many brightly colored ribbons. The ribbons would be held by the many participants who danced their way around the Maypole in opposing directions, weaving in and out until the people were almost arm in arm and the Maypole was woven with bright springtime colors from top to bottom. The Maypole is actually a symbol for fertility of the land, and the ribbons being wound represent the movement of energies between the Earth and the Sky (The Goddess and the God) that causes the plants to grow and the world to re-awaken. The Maypole, associated with May festivals, is traceable to an ancient Greek figure known as a herm, named for Hermes. The earliest form of a herm was simply a wooden column upon which a ritual mask was hung. The Maypole, a phallic symbol, represents the masculine. The soft, colorful ribbons represent the feminine. The union of the two symbolizes the union of the God and Goddess.
